Chapter 184 The Big Business of River Dredging

Looking at the heads of flood control departments from various places around him, who were almost fighting over the scheduling of a Jingwei engineering ship, Chen Jue, who was involved, also showed a playful smile on his face.

There is no reason not to accept such a large order that is delivered to your door in a hurry.

What's more, dredging the Yangtze River and the Yellow River is a great thing that benefits the country and the people. Not only can it dredge the river channels, but it can also prevent the possibility of future waterlogging disasters.

Chen Jue would be willing to do such an order for free even if he had to pay for it out of his own pocket, not to mention that it was an open and aboveboard bidding on the spot.

However, what Chen Jue did not expect was that before Lu Shoucheng and the others finished their argument, Secretary Lin, who accompanied them, spoke first: "Chen Jue, can the dredging equipment on the Jingwei engineering ship be miniaturized and put into use in urban rivers?"

Chen Jue nodded immediately upon hearing this: "Sure! The current design of Jingwei 01 is the result of our group's engineers enlarging it from a small scale. It is not difficult to make a river dredging ship of tons. Secretary Lin, do you mean... to help the brothers of the inspection team dredge the city's ring canal?"

Secretary Lin's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he looked a little excited: "It's not the Ring River, it's the Wenruitang River in our Wen City!"

When these words came out, Chen Jue was shocked.

The Wenruitang River may be a little unknown to outsiders, but to the natives of Wenzhou, it is as important as the mother river "Yellow River"!

The Wenruitang River spans several districts and counties in Wen City. The entire basin area is 740 square kilometers, the total length of the river network is 1178.4 kilometers, and the irrigation area is 48.2 acres.

Before the reform and opening up, the water of Wenruitang River was crystal clear, with schools of fish and shrimps, and it was the source of drinking water on which the coastal people depended for their survival.

Unfortunately, after the reform and opening up, Wen's economy took off, and small private workshops introduced leather and plastic making technologies. A large amount of industrial wastewater began to be discharged into the Wenruitang River without control.

The water that was originally used for washing clothes and cooking has become a seriously polluted water source.

In addition, with the advancement of urbanization, the Tanghe River, which originally presented circulating living water, was cut into several sections by roads and urban development, turning several tributaries of the Tanghe River into dead water with no ends or heads.

This resulted in the Wenruitang River, which should have been crystal clear, becoming eutrophic and colorful after entering the 21st century. In the end, the water even turned black and smelly, and the fish and shrimp were almost extinct, seriously affecting the lives of local people.

Chen Jue vaguely remembered that when he went to school in the city as a child, the Tanghe River Basin in Rui County invested heavily in its management every year.

The method of control is nothing more than using sandbags to block the upstream and downstream sides of the river, draining the water, and then driving an excavator to dig out the heavily polluted silt accumulated in the riverbed.

The black river mud has a pungent smell as soon as it comes ashore. No matter how much is dug out, the stench still lingers in the city of Vancouver.

The environmental protection department of Rui County, Wen City has also tried every possible means, investing hundreds of millions of dollars every year and continuously investing for more than 20 years to introduce various governance technologies and methods from home and abroad.

But what about the result?
The polluted Wenruitang River is like a bottomless pit. No matter how much money is invested in its management, it will be useless.

Now that Secretary Lin mentioned this matter, he also saw the powerful emotion-relief technology of the Jingwei 01 engineering equipment.

Since it can be used to dredge the silted seabed at the entrance of the Feiyun River, is there room for maneuver to also invest in dredging the riverbed of the Wenruitang River, which is shallower and has a narrower channel?

"As long as it can be miniaturized, there will be no problem putting it into the river!"

"And Secretary Lin, don't forget that our equipment can not only be used on ships, but can also be transplanted and used on engineering vehicles." Chen Jue grinned, with a bit of confidence and brilliance on his face.

He was previously busy using the MC system to make money and build big businesses, and indeed neglected many aspects that were closely related to life.

After being reminded by Secretary Lin, he immediately realized that river dredging is also a good business with "quick money, high threshold and near monopoly".

Looking at the heads of the inspection teams from several inland cities present, the budgets for export projects alone often start at billions.

These are just a few cities along the Yangtze River and the Yellow River that have been severely affected by flooding.

If we count all the places in the country and even the world that are seriously polluted by urban rivers, then this environmental protection business can be said to be like an infinite gold mountain! The kind that can never be exhausted even if you dig!
"We need both mountains of gold and silver and green mountains and clear waters. Chen Jue, our Vancouver's mother river is counting on you! Quickly miniaturize this equipment. As long as the equipment is finalized and can meet the purchasing requirements of the Environmental Protection Bureau and the Water Conservancy Department, I will report to the mayor after I return." Secretary Lin said earnestly.

In recent years, people have paid more and more attention to environmental awareness, and river chief systems have been set up in rivers across the country.

If the pollution of Wenruitang River, which has troubled the people of Wenzhou for many years, can be brought under control, it will be a huge achievement for me. Not to mention an immediate promotion, it will also be enough for evaluation and promotion within the unit.

After realizing this, Chen Jue's eyes immediately turned: "Understood! I will immediately ask the group's design department to work out a plan."

……

Seeing Chen Jue and Secretary Lin chatting enthusiastically, Lu Shoucheng and others from the inspection team also had their eyes shining.

“Can this dredging equipment be miniaturized?”

"That's great! Can we also clean up those polluted water bodies left over from history in our city?"

"Mr. Chen, Secretary Lin, you two can't keep your good plan secret!"

Everyone was talking about it, and felt that the project budget just reported was a bit too conservative.

After all, the dredging of urban rivers is under the jurisdiction of the municipal department, and the project budget here is allocated every year without fail.

If the sudden dredging work can be carried out together with the Yangtze River and Yellow River systems, it will definitely be a dazzling star project that will benefit the local people.

Realizing the huge power here, the members of the inspection team, who were a little impatient, began to speak up and increase their bids.

The project budget of 1 million yuan is considered to be underestimated. When it comes to dredging urban rivers, large provincial capital cities like Wuhan and Hefei all invest more than billion yuan a year.

Seeing this, Chen Jue comforted them, "Don't worry, leaders. Currently, the Jingwei Engineering Ship is stepping up the production of the second and third ships. In the future, our Magic Cube Group will open several new intelligent docks in the near future to ensure that all the participating cities can be rotated within half a year."

"If the leaders are worried, I will ask the group's legal department to come up with a few cooperation agreements later!"

After these words were spoken, everyone in the expedition team felt relieved. After chatting with Chen Jue for a few words, they turned their attention again to Jingwei 01 which was working in the distance.

The Jingwei 01, with its claws and fangs bared, was seen switching the matching working module on its robotic arm again after completing the suction of seabed waste along the mudflats.

However, this time, they did not equip MC props such as [Lithium Piston]. Instead, they used a traditional hydraulic grab to scoop up the piled construction materials.

At first, what was caught were prefabricated iron blocks and cuttings, as well as concrete blocks and other pile materials for the foundation of the deep-water port terminal.

After all, there have been mature cases of typhoon rescue and disaster relief and rapid closing of breached dams, and everyone knows that Magic Cube Group has the technical strength to do so.

However, when a row of T-shaped dock foundations over a hundred meters long were quickly laid along the mudflats outside the Rubik's Cube Factory, an ultra-thick glass wall that was lifted from the cabin stunned all the inspection teams present!
"This...is this glass?"

"It's so thick! It looks thicker than the acrylic glass in the aquarium!"

"What is this for?"

"Fuck it! Are you planning to use glass to build a wave-breaking wall?"
